Teens Think Valentine’s Day Is Lame, Loser

As a traditional holiday such as Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s a great time to check in with the teens of America and see if they approve of this time-honored celebration invented by their long-ago ancestors. In our modern time, do these most contemporary of humans still support Valentine’s Day? No, they do not.

We Heart It, a new and exceedingly popular social network with the teen set, polled nearly 25,000 young adults age 13 to 24 about their feelings on Valentine’s Day. They found that most teens (66 percent of girls, 50 percent of boys) don’t “buy into” Valentine’s Day and believe that it’s “over-rated, disappointing, painful, old-fashioned, and lame.” These are super-classic teen insults. You’re over, Valentine’s Day. C-YA.
